    Have you looked at "Pop-N-Lock" for your tailgate.Longer install but worth it

    I saw someone on toyota tacoma enthusiasts on fb talk about the pop n lock but I believe the camera has to be moved around and that it throws the grid lines off

    Not hard to do. Just take of the backing and swap them. Camera goes in the opening.

    I had that exact model. The latch is weak. After 2 years it finally broke while trying to open the tailgate in 25 degree weather. If you don't deal with freezing temperatures it may not be a problem for you. I removed it entirely afterwards because I have a lockable canopy that prevents the tailgate from being opened.
